My review will contain spoilers if you have not read book one, WATER.
goodreads...
She carries more than just elemental
powers. In ‘Air’, the sequel to ‘Water’ of the Akasha Series, Kaitlyn has a
secret. One she won’t be able to hide much longer. As the strongest Gaia the
planet has ever seen, she must face mankind’s greatest enemy as he campaigns
for ‘One Less: Depopulation’. Everything depends on Kaitlyn fully embracing her
role as Gaia. Her family. The Seven. The Earth. Something has to give, and it
won’t be Kaitlyn.
My take...
Kaitlyn is carrying a secret that only one
other person knows about. She is pregnant but not entirely sure who the daddy
is. It could be Micah’s, the one guy who she cares the most for. Or on the other
hand it could be Shawn's, the one that kidnapped and raped her. Thankfully she
has Micah’s sister, Susan, to confide in. Kaitlyn will have to tell Micah soon
though, because you can only hide a growing belly for so long.
One of my most favorite scenes in the book
is when Micah and Shawn both realize that Kaitlyn is pregnant. Wonderfully,
wonderfully done. And what happened soon after had me grinning so big. Only
thing is I am not sure how I feel about Micah. I mean I really like him but I
am not crazy about his ‘You woman, me caveman’ attitude. He is very hot and
cold when it comes to Kaitlyn and how he reacts with her. One moment he is all
caring and loving and then the next he is acting all Neanderthal. So less
caveman, more feelings and Micah would be prefect.
I will say I think I loved AIR more than
WATER. And that is really saying something because I LOVED WATER. AIR is not as
action packed as WATER was but I think that is what I adored about it. I
enjoyed the pace the book took and how during the story Kaitlyn was able to
learn more about who she is and what she can do. I also loved the addition of
the Shades to the story. Even though I was a bit hesitant about them at first I
thought the whole idea was genius.
I will say that this author is not afraid
to push the envelope. So if you are skirmish when it comes to rape scenes…then
thread carefully, there is one in here. Though it is not as horrific as with
book one, rape is rape.
AIR is an incredible read that had me
hanging on to each and every word Harmony wrote. In fact, I am so excited to
read FIRE soon so I can see what played out after this crazy cliffhanger we
were given here in AIR. I totally recommend this series if you are looking for
something different than what’s out there and love a good suspenseful read that
is peppered with romance.
Wow, rape AND you get to see the rapists reactions? Very intriguing!
